I'm starving all the time. I don't get it. It's very frustrating. I find myself cheating often buying things I shouldn't be. Sucks!

I'm by no means a veteran (only 9 weeks out) but i can say that the 1st two weeks were rough with regards to hunger. I thought I was starving to death!

I started on puréed at 2 weeks and things got A LOT better. Now I don't really feel hungry as much as empty when I need to eat.

Hang in there...it gets so much better!!!

Hmmm, are you getting all your liquids in? I find that I am constantly sipping and don't really get hungry. I was sleeved 12-11, I did finally try some cream Soup today and that was very helpful!

I was sleeved the same day as you... how are you doing with the cream soups? I'm just focusing on liquids and getting in my Protein shakes now.

I have had a few of those uh oh moments when feeding or getting food ready for my son, I'll be ready to lick or take a bite and I'm like oh no, I can't do that. It's crazy what a habit food can be sometimes! Good luck with the cream soups! I had butternut squash Soup and just that different flavor felt really good. :)

I know its horrible to admit but I get tempted even though Im not hungry. Head hunger is the worse. Its all worth it though.

I have found the cream Soups have helped me stay fuller as well... I was also sleeved on 12.12.12... My Dr and Nut said I can start Puree somewhere between 7-10 days post op depending on how I feel... Their definition of puree includes Scrambled eggs so that makes me really happy! I am hoping to have a more full feeling then!! I feel like I am constantly eatting!

I'm not ever physically hungry cause the moment I take a sip of something I'm full, but I have horrible head hunger every time I see a hungry howies commercial I want to cry. I am at the creamed Soup phase but I hate soup and after all the broth I consumed in the first week I can't stand it so I am only consuming Water and Protein Shakes at this point. I am totally weak all the time. Tomorrow is my 2 week appointment I am hoping they give me clearance to drive I need out of the I house.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
